Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the oil and salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and lemon zest/juice.

Step 3

Pat the cornish game hens dry with a paper towel then brush them with the seasoning mixture under and on top of the skin. Twist wings to tuck under the bird.

Step 4

Place hen(s) in the air fryer basket, breast side down, and cook for 35 minutes.

Step 5

Flip the hens and cook for an additional 10 minutes to get the skin crispy. Check internal temperature: hens are done at 165 degrees F. Serve and enjoy!
